[Verse 1]

"Honey, I'm home"

How was work? I got dinner on the stove

"You call this dinner? This is why we all get thinner"

It's alphabet soup, so you can eat your words

[Pre-Chorus]

Whoa-oh, they're laughin' at me again

I heard God's a standup comedian

He's got a special on HBO

And he does a lot of racial jokes

Five stars from the critics

But when I tell my jokes, I get crickets

Go figure, I'm just another hack

With a sitcom laugh track playin' in the back, back

[Chorus]

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (Sit calm)

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

[Verse 2]

Have you ever seen

A dysfunctional family sit so calmly

While they bask in the light of a TV screen?

And have you ever dreamed (Have you dreamed)

That you laughed until you cried

And then you cried until you screamed?

[Pre-Chorus]

Whoa-oh, they're laughin' at me again

I heard God's a standup comedian

He's got a special on HBO

And he does a lot of racial jokes

Five stars from the critics

But when I tell my jokes, I get crickets

Go figure, I'm just another hack

With a sitcom laugh track playin' in the back, back

[Chorus]

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (Sit calm)

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

[Bridge]

Hey, Mama, turn the TV on

Put somethin' in the VCR

We're channel surfin' to the stars

Here we go, here we go, here we go, ayy

Hey, Mama, turn the TV on

Put somethin' in the VCR

We're channel surfin' to the stars

Here we go, here we—

[Chorus]

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (Sit calm)

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (Sit calm)

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
